Такой вопрос поднимает редакция в последнем номере High Times (NB: у нас, как и в СССР, ежемесячно выходят ежемесячные журналы. Однако в нашей стране сегодняшний номер называется мартовским, тогда как в стране Советов он назывался бы ноябрьским). И отвечает себе: время покажет! И: всё зависит от нас с вами, друзья! Пока, вот что удалось нарыть команде квалифицированных исследователей.

OBAMA ON WEED. While President Obama's past fondness for weed is well documented-"I inhaled frequently," he has candidly admitted, "that was the point"-his current stance on marijuana policy is hazier. Speaking at Northwestern University in January 2004, Obama called America's so-called "War on Drugs" an "utter failure" and stated that "we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws." He later reversed this pro-pot position during a Democratic primary debate in 2007, raising his hand in opposition to decriminalization. Following the debate, Obama's handlers claimed that he'd misunderstood the moderator's question and reasserted that the Democratic contender had, in fact, "always" supported decriminalization. Hours later, however, the campaign reversed course again, telling the Washington Times that Obama opposed decriminalizing weed.
Our 44th president's stance on the use of medical pot is far clearer. On the campaign trial, Obama pledged to end federal interference in states that have legalized the use of medical cannabis, stating: "I would not have the Justice Department prosecuting and raiding medical-marijuana users. It's not a good use of our resources." Obama also said that he believes that physicians should be able to legally prescribe cannabis, but concedes that pot will not be regulated like other prescription medicines until there's a change in federal law. So would President Obama lobby for such a change? "The likelihood of that being real high on my list is not likely," he admits.
